Verdi (1813-1901)

Description:

Commemorating the 200th anniversary of Verdi's birth and his visit to La Scala. A new recording featuring a star-studded cast of singers under the baton of Barenboim! The superb Requiem performed just before the opening of the Verdi bicentennial season! Halteros, Galancha, Kaufman, Parupe... just looking at the gorgeous lineup of singers is enough to make you drool! Verdi's Requiem, performed before the opening of La Scala's new season last August, attracted a packed house with a performance by a superb lineup befitting the 200th anniversary of the composer's birth. This album is a live recording of the performance. The sound of all the performers playing as one under the direction of the master Barenboim was a great sensation. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a new masterpiece to the Requiem, which has given birth to a number of masterpieces in the past. Universal Music/IMS
